General

Authority and Application

Parking regulations are recommended by the Campus Parking Advisory Board and become effective on the date approved by the Associate Vice President of the Facilities Services. They are not retroactive. The Campus Parking Advisory Board recommends parking policy and supervises the administration of appeals.

The Associate Vice President of Facilities Services, or his assignee, is responsible for maintaining the Parking Office. The Public Safety Management Assistant is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Parking Office.

These regulations apply at all times to all persons using a vehicle, unless otherwise specified.

ISU assumes no responsibility for the care or protection of any vehicle or its contents while it is operated or parked on campus. All vehicles should be locked when left unattended.

All matters concerning these regulations should be referred to the Public Safety Management Assistant, Campus Box 8140.

Campus Parking Advisory Board

The Campus Parking Advisory Board is comprised of one graduate student, two academic students and one student from the College of Technology who are appointed by the ASISU President. One of these appointed students may meet with the Appeals Officer to review appeals on the Pocatello Campus. The ASISU Vice President Idaho Falls, at University Place, will sit on the Campus Parking Advisory Board. This student will hear University Place parking appeals.

One academic faculty representative and one College of Technology faculty representative will be appointed by the Faculty/Senate. One classified (CEC) staff member, and one administrative member (COPE) will be appointed by their respective organizations. One of these appointed members may meet with the Appeals Officer to review appeals. One staff member and one University of Idaho Faculty member will be appointed from University Place. The University of Idaho Faculty member will be appointed by the Dean of the University of Idaho.

The Director of Public Safety, the Public Safety Management Assistant, and the ASISU President or his appointee, are non-voting, ex-officio members of the Parking Advisory Board.

The chairperson of the Campus Parking Advisory Board is selected by the board members at the first fall semester meeting, which is called at the request of the Associate Vice President of Facilities Services. Meetings after that are held monthly or on an as needed basis.

Appeals Process

The Public Safety Director will designate an Appeals Officer in concurrence with the Associate Vice President of Facilities Services. An Appeals Officer by definition is an individual appointed by the University to adjudicate alleged violations and, under appropriate circumstances, mediate penalties provided for violations of these regulations. A student appointed by the ASISU student government to the Parking Board may meet with the Appeals Officer to review appeals. A faculty representative may also be appointed to be present for the review of faculty/staff appeals. The Appeals Officer has the authority to adjudicate all appeals if student or faculty representatives are not present.

The Appeals Officer, and student or faculty representative if present, will review all appeals to see if the ticket was written according to parking regulations, procedures and policy. The Appeals Officer may grant the appeal and waive the fine, reduce the fine, or deny the appeal leaving the fine as is.

All appeals must be submitted within ten (10) days of issuance, either in writing to the Public Safety Parking Office, or on-line on the Public Safety web site at www.isu.edu/pubsafe under Parking. No appeals will be taken over the telephone.

Requests for tickets being waived for guests on behalf of the University must be submitted through the appeals process and must come from a Dean, Department Head or Director. These requests will not be taken over the phone. All appeals must have a valid justification for the appeal. Unacceptable justification for an appeal includes, but is not limited to:

That the violator could not find a legal place to park. It typically requires a few minutes to locate a parking space within the campus’ parking system. It is suggested that customers plan their schedules such that there is sufficient time to find and park in a legal space. Having to get to class or work on time is not normally an accepted appeal.

That the violator could not afford a permit. There is free parking in Holt Arena Parking Lot and a free shuttle to lower campus. (Special arrangements may also be made with the Public Safety Management Assistant when a person is in dire need to have payment for a permit extended.).

That the violator did not know the regulation. It is the responsibility of every constituent parking or driving on the ISU campus to read and understand the rules and regulations contained on the Public Safety web site.

That the violator was only there for a “few minutes”. An appellant that states that the vehicle was only parked for two minutes, five minutes, etc., is not valid. A parking restriction normally holds for parking for any period of time.

That other people were parked illegally. The fact that others are violating the parking regulations does not give anyone the right to violate the regulations.

That the violator has parked in the same place previously and not received a ticket. Failure of the University to strictly enforce any parking regulations shall not be construed as a waiver for the future enforcement of the regulation.

That the department forgot to distribute a visitors pass or passes. It is the responsibility of the department to make sure visitors passes are obtained from the parking office and distributed appropriately.

That the violator was running an errand and/or doing business with or for a department. It is the responsibility of the department to assure that those doing business for their departments are parking according to the parking regulations, and using the appropriate permit.

That “someone” told the violator they could park there.

That the violator did not see the sign. It is the driver’s responsibility to note and comply with all signs and/or posted notices and line markings.

That the permit had fallen on the floor or seat or was covered with papers. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure the permit is properly displayed and clearly visible.

Violations in disabled parking spaces and (red) fire zones are non-appealable. Notification of the decision of the appeals officer will be in writing.

An individual may appeal the decision of the Appeals Officer to the Chair of the Parking Board. Appeals must be made within 10 days of the Appeals Officer’s decision in writing to the Chair or emailing the Chair. A meeting may also be scheduled. The Chair may uphold, reduce or dismiss the violation.

Any University student and/or employee who creates a scene, becomes loud and/or obscene, or is disrespectful in any way, either in the Parking Office or over the telephone, or to any parking representative in the field, or throws money or tickets, etc. at a parking representative either in the Parking Office or in the field, will be written up and turned over to their respective disciplinary authority.

Permanent "No Parking" Areas

Parking of all unauthorized vehicles is prohibited at all times in the following areas: all service roads, sidewalks, crosswalks, loading zones and yellow curbs; within 10 feet of either direction of all fire hydrants or areas marked "Fire Road" (designated by red curbs); within 30 feet of any intersection; on lawns or grass; disabled spaces (designated by blue curbs, and disabled persons signs); and official vehicle zones. Any vehicle, standing, driving through, or parked in any bus turn-out area will receive a "no parking zone" violation. Prohibited parking at ISU-Meridian includes all of the Joint School District No. 2 and Meridian Rnaissance High School parking lots."

Parking in loading zones or at yellow curbs for bona fide loading or unloading of equipment and other heavy material is limited to 15 minutes. Please use your flashers! Temporary arrangements for longer periods of time may be authorized by calling the Parking Office.

Requests for waivers of any of the above must be submitted in writing to the Public Safety Management Assistant or his/her designee. The written request must contain full justification for the need for such a waiver and must be approved in writing before the regulation may be regarded by the applicant as waived or altered.

All past fines must be paid in full before a new permit will be issued. Hardship exceptions may be given at the discretion of the Public Safety Management Assistant or his/her designee.

A permit does not guarantee a personal parking space; parking is allowed in the lots only if space is available.

No permit may be reproduced or copied for use in a person's vehicle (to include campers, trailers and boats). Any reproduced or copied permit used in this manner shall be considered an altered/forged permit and will be subject to the current fine amount for said violation.

Permits are transferable for a $10.00 transfer fee.

General Parking Information

Parking For Certain Purposes Prohibited - No person shall park a vehicle upon any roadway or parking lot for the sole purpose of displaying such vehicle for sale.

The responsibility of finding a legal parking space rests with the vehicle operator. Lack of space is not considered a valid reason for violation of these regulations. Parking in more than one space is prohibited (exceptions may be granted by the Parking Office for busses and specialized vehicles).

The fact that another vehicle is parked in violation of any regulation and does not receive a citation does not authorize such parking nor does it mean the regulation is no longer in effect.

The fact that other vehicles are parked improperly shall not constitute a valid justification for parking in violation of these regulations.

If a citation is placed on a private vehicle for violation of these regulations, proof that the parking permit number or the license plate number entered on the citation was displayed on the vehicle, together with proof that the number had been issued to a specific person, is prima facie evidence that the person is responsible for the violation.

Direction and Distance

When parallel parking, vehicles must have the proper wheels to the curb and face in the direction in which traffic is authorized.

When parked diagonally, the front wheels must be against the curb. All vehicles must be parked within 18 inches of the curb.

Double parking on streets, access aisles, or in parking lots is prohibited.

Towing

Motor vehicles may be immediately towed from any campus area if allowed to stand in violation of local, state, or university regulations, or left in any position which constitutes a hazard; i.e., blocking a fire lane or fire hydrant, blocking or obstructing traffic flow, in a driveway, loading zone, service road, or otherwise tending to cause injury or danger to the public.

Violations of university regulations subject to immediate towing, but not limited to are:

Persons parking in an assigned space belonging to a resident of campus housing may be towed at the request of the resident.

Cosmetology patron only

Museum visitor parking only

Disabled parking only

Non-registered vehicles and/or vehicles of persistent violators

Abandoned/inoperable vehicles

AutoTech/Collision Repair restricted parking

Bus Turn-Out Areas

Vehicles may also be towed from any campus area, if abandoned or disabled. A vehicle is considered disabled if, from the outward appearance, it is not capable of being driven from its present location. This would include, but not be limited to flat tires, missing jacks, parking blocks or similar devices and being left unattended. A vehicle is considered abandoned if the vehicle does not display a current parking permit, and the owner/driver has failed to respond within three days to contacts made by the Campus Parking Office. Two-wheeled motorized vehicles are subject to the same regulations as all other vehicles, except in placement of permits.

Owners or operators of vehicles which become disabled on campus must notify the Campus Parking Office within 24 hours or assume full responsibility for any citation they receive as a result of any improper parking. Owners/drivers of disabled vehicles will have 24 hours to make the vehicle operable before it will be towed away at their expense.

Vehicles not subject to immediate towing which have incurred outstanding fines of $50.00 or more, and have received a tow warning and tow letter, may be towed from campus (including campus housing areas at the owner’s expense.

Making major vehicle repairs and/or dumping of motor oil or gasoline on university property is prohibited.

Snow Removal Parking Restrictions

1. Authority for Establishing Snow Removal Restrictions

In the event snowfall has accumulated on the public streets and parking lots of the University in amounts sufficient to pose a hazard to the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of campus or campuses, requiring large scale snow removal operations, the ISU Director of Public Safety, or in his absence, the Associate Vice President of Facilities Services, is authorized to issue a proclamation invoking parking restrictions on any of the streets and parking lots set forth as Idaho State University property.

The Director shall set for in the proclamation a specific date and time when these parking restrictions shall become effective and the duration thereof; provided, however, that the restrictions do not become effective until adequate notice has been given to the public, by publication, radio or television broadcast. Adequate notice is deemed to have been provided if the effective date and time of the restrictions is no sooner than eight o'clock (8:00) a.m. of the day following the date of publication of the proclamation by e-mail, posted notice, hand bill or in the official newspaper, or no sooner than twelve (12) hours after the proclamation is once broadcast by radio or television station having a general audience within University properties.

2. Removal of Vehicles

Any motor vehicle, motorcycle, or trailer parked upon any University public street or parking lot in violation of this proclamation may be removed at any time at the direction of a Public Safety officer and may be towed to another University owned lot or location, provided the towing and parking of the vehicle does not create a safety hazard. If no other University location is available, the vehicle may also be towed and stored in any public or private storage lot, without prior notice to the owner or operator of the vehicle. Nothing herein shall preclude the issuance of a subsequent citation under this regulation to the owner or operator of any motor vehicle moved to another public street or lot, provided that the parking of the vehicle was lawful at the time of its towing.

3. Payment of Towing and Storage Fees

The owner or operation of any motor vehicle, motorcyle or trailer towed to or stored in a private impound lot pursuant to the preceding section shall be responsible for all reasonable towing and storage charges of owner of the impount lot or to the University. Such charges shall be paid to the private towing company before the vehicle, motorcycle or trailer is released. If the vehicle, motorcycle or trailer is towed to a street or lot owned, controlled or leased by the University, the towing charge shall be paid to the University. If the towing charge is not paid to the University on or before the close of business on the day of the tow, all charges will be passed to hold or sent to collections as prescribed by University policy.

4. Penalty

A citation for Violation #21 (Other) will be issued with a notation of "failure to comply with snow removal proclamation."

Revocation of Parking Privileges

Parking on ISU and University Place property is a privilege which is revocable for cause.

Causes for revocation may include but are not limited to non-payment of fines, unauthorized use of parking permits, acts of vandalism to parking control facilities or equipment, abuse of the parking control staff, or being a habitual offender. A habitual offender is defined as a person who continues to violate these regulations.

If a person's parking privileges have been revoked, their vehicle(s) are subject to immediate towing at the violator's expense if found on university controlled parking areas, including meters and loading zones.

If a person’s parking privileges have been revoked they may park in the free parking at Holt Arena on the ISU campus or in Freeman Park at University Place without being towed.

Traffic Regulations

All city and state traffic rules, regulations and laws apply to university property. Therefore, whenever a rule, regulation, directive or law specifies application on a highway, roadway or any other public domain, that rule, regulation, directive or law shall apply, and will be enforced as a university traffic regulation on university property, including, but not limited to parking lots, roadways and other property.

Idaho Code Title 49 Chapter 6 Section 49-623, pertaining to the operation of an emergency vehicle, shall apply to all Public Safety officers driving Public Safety vehicles.

Idaho Code Title 49 Chapter 6 Section 49-625, pertaining to yielding to an emergency vehicle, shall apply to all persons operating motor vehicles on university property; to wit: motor vehicles on university property must yield to Public Safety vehicles in an emergency. Further, motor vehicles operating on university property must stop for Public Safety vehicles when Public Safety vehicles give a visual or audible signal to bring the vehicle to a stop.

Campus officers are authorized to stop vehicles on campus for moving violations such as running a stop sign or speeding. All moving traffic violations on campus property are subject to a $30.00 fine.

No vehicle may be driven on campus at a speed of more than 15 miles per hour or as posted.

Sidewalks on campus are limited to pedestrian traffic. Skateboarding, roller-skating and rollerblading are prohibited within 20 feet of any building where glass windows are less than three feet above the level of the ground. Bicycles should travel at a reasonable rate of speed on all university sidewalks.

Designation of Parking Lots

Each campus parking area is designated in one or more the following ways:

Reserved lot signs bearing the lot designation, such as "R-1", and the letters "PERMIT REQUIRED". These lots are for holders of that reserved permit only.

General lot signs bearing letters "CAMPUS PERMIT REQUIRED." These lots are for holders of general permits except for spaces and areas posted otherwise. ISU-Meridian requires an additional Faculty/Staff sticker be placed on the General Lot hang tag in order to park in designated Faculty/Staff parking areas.

A posted sign clearly indicating one or more of the above designations will be placed at the entrance to each parking area. Loading zones and parking areas for disabled persons, visitors, official vehicles (state vehicles and maintenance vehicles), whether within or outside of a parking lot, will be clearly posted as such.

The posted sign will also include the times and days during which parking permit requirements are in effect.

Spaces which are signed for individual parking require the private vehicle to display a permit for that lot.

Reserved lot permits are available for sale to faculty and staff on May 1 of each year. "Faculty and staff" is defined as any person whose name appears on an employee list provided by the ISU Human Resources Office and who has a valid faculty/staff card. Graduate assistants and teaching assistants are allowed to purchase Reserved lot permits, beginning August 1 of each year. A letter of acceptance from the GA/TA's department must accompany their request for a permit. Reserved lot permits are available for sale to students on August 15. Reserve lots will be oversold only where practical and by no more than five percent (5%).

Food Services, ISU Credit Union and KISU-TV employees may purchase reserved lot permits if they wish; however, applicants may not be enrolled as full-time or part-time ISU students.

Students residing in campus housing will be issued permits in the campus housing lot nearest their residence. A housing overflow lot will also be designated.

Affiliate faculty members will be required to purchase a permit.

Exceptions

Requests for waivers of any of the above regulations must be submitted in writing to the Public Safety Management Assistant.

Fines may be paid by check or money order made payable to CAMPUS PARKING OFFICE, ISU PUBLIC SAFETY Campus Box 8140, Pocatello, Idaho 83209-8140.

Student offenses which necessitate disciplinary measures in addition to violation fees assessed will be referred to the University Judicial Board for appropriate action.

For all purposes of these regulations and in such cases in which a violation has occurred, it will be presumed, in the absence of proof to the contrary, that the violator is the registered owner of the vehicle as the information appears on record in the Department of Law Enforcement in Boise or other states.

Special Event/Activities Parking Arrangements

Any Department that needs to make arrangements for parking at special activities (i.e., lot closures, roping off meters, mobile signs, permits, etc.) must contact Parking at 282-2625 three days in advance. Lot closures for event parking will be charged at $200/day for days 1 & 2 and $100 each additional day (ASISU Events $50 per day). Departments who fail to make arrangements in advance (three days) will be charged $50.00 in addition to $4.00 for each citation issued.

Visitors

Visitors may park at the parking meters in the individual lots. Unless otherwise approved by the Public Safety Management Assistant or his/her designee, a visitor permit is valid only in the area designated on the pass, in Holt Arena, general lots at ISU Pocatello, ISU Meridian or University Place in Idaho Falls, or metered parking spaces and only valid for dates written on the pass. Visitors to campus displaying a state disabled permit can park anywhere on campus. Exceptions must be approved by the Public Safety Management Assistant or his/her designee. Faculty, staff and students are not classified as visitors and may not use the meters marked for visitors only.
